figuratively/ literally. Figuratively means metaphorically, and literally describes something that actually happened. If you say that a guitar solo literally blew your head off, your head should not be attached to your body. But they're also going to create literally a tidal wave of data. There wasn't an actual tidal wave, just a lot of data.
Answers. 1  Figurative language (aka literary devices) is writing which says something in a way that is poetic or beautiful. Using figurative language is a way to invite the reader in to experience what the writer is describing. Examples include imagery (words that describe something so well that the reader can almost see, hear, taste, smell, or touch what is being described). Simile Metaphor Personification Onomatopoeia Hyperbole etc.
